Anna May Streeter (1867-1940) was born in Saint Johnsbury, Vermont, and died in Concord, New Hampshire. By 1899 she was living in Concord, where she worked as a stenographer and cashier for the law firm Streeter, Walker & Hollis (later Streeter & Hollis), of which her brother, Frank S. Streeter, was the senior partner. He was a high-profile corporate attorney who, among other distinctions, served in the New Hampshire legislature, the New Hampshire Constitutional Convention, the Republican National Committee, and the International Joint Commission between the United States and Canada. He was employed by Mary Baker Eddy to manage her legal defense and public relations at various times between 1890 and 1910, including the Josephine C. Woodbury libel suit brought against Eddy in 1899 and the well publicized Next Friends suit of 1907. By 1907 he was also counsel for the trustees to whom Eddy had conveyed all her property. In 1899 Anna May Streeter interacted with Eddy's student John Carroll Lathrop (1871-1941) in the course of his assistance with Eddy's defense in the Woodbury litigation.
